Coimbra again (28.10)

We started out on a sunny day to get to know Coimbra better...
This beauty is quite near Antonio's house.

This was a park with a splendid view of the city and where, on the white plaques, people write nostalgically about their student years in Coimbra.


Next we saw the university, which is quite old and beautiful. The funny story with the clock tower in the picture is that they call it "The Bitch" because it rang when it was time for school, early in the morning, when most students had just returned home drunk from a party. :P


View from the university museum walls



All the pavements in Portugal have these little rocks...they are killers for high heels and for the poor people who had to put them in one by one...:P


We ended up having lunch in this antiques filled market, which was quite lovely...

This is a Republica: a house where students live together and express strong views on politics, football or other social topics. According to Antonio...it takes these people more time to greduate...because they love the student life :)



Just a building I really liked.
Later in the evening we had dinner in a Fado restaurant...one of the most profound moments. Fado music can really take your breath away...I recorded some songs and every time I want to relax and feel good I put them on :)

The day finally ended with an explosive Patrice concert in the Latada Festival.


And with us being happy and fulfilled. :)
